Welcome to Southside Baptist Church

WHO WE ARE

Southside Baptist Church was established in Granbury, Texas in 1955. There is a unique role for a smaller, community church. Like a family, members know each other’s names and work together in small teams. There is a place for very large

churches, but also smaller churches. Southside Baptist is a friendly, welcoming church with opportunities for everyone to serve. Here, you are not just a number, but a valued person known by the pastor individually. Together, we grow in our relationship with Christ.

WHAT WE DO

We serve the Lord through worship with praise and prayer every Sunday

morning. Additionally, members have opportunities to serve in many

outreach programs such as our food pantry, meals for poor children, missions, Christmas packages for children in foreign countries, a diaper ministry, vacation Bible school, an annual blood drive, family fest in October, and Sunday night

programs that include excellent speakers, concerts, and Christian films. Every Sunday morning, members and visitors may join our prayer group. Every Monday evening, the pastor teaches a bible study. There are Sunday School classes and children’s activities, too.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

We are “People of the Book, " meaning we believe the Holy Bible is our

ultimate source of truth, inspired and without error. We believe in One God

revealed in the Trinity – God the Father (creator), God the Son (incarnated as a human in Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit (power of God drawing people toward salvation). We believe we are saved by grace and faith in Jesus who paid the price for our sins by his death on a cross and his resurrection.

Who is Jesus?

Jesus is the Son of God who became a human, died on the cross for our sins, and was resurrected from the dead. He is the true Messiah and Savior of the world.

What does it mean to be a Christian?

A Christian is a person “born again” by the Spirit of God who puts their faith and trust in Jesus and follows his teachings.

What is the roll of the church?

The role of the church is to make disciples who evangelize and serve,

growing in their faith through worship, fellowship, and leaders

teaching and preaching biblical truth.

Our Mission Statement

Loving God, Loving People, Connecting to Jesus.
